The guy that told you it would only cost $40 is not telling the truth. Windows XP runs around $125.00. If you download an operating system from the web, Microsoft can see that your copy of Windows is not valid and disable your system from a remote server. I recommend buying Win XP from Best Buy. It is currently on sale until Jun 26, 08 for $99.99.

To upgrade your hard drive you will not need to mode the system. I know the system should support the 500gb drive. As for the 1tb drive it may work but it depends if the system has support for a 1tb drive. Sony may have not added support for 1tb drives to the PS3. The link below will show you how to remove the hard drive.

So, your Hard Drive Crashed and HP just sent it back. Did you lose all your files? When you say Cam is not clear anymore, did you have to re-install the software? Could you have left anything out during re-install? Does everything seem good in Control panel system. Something is fishy here,It should be working fine. I wish I could help more.
